The money went to over 50 organizations in Canada even for events held virtually.
(LifeSiteNews) – Recently disclosed records show that the federal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave $12 million of taxpayer money to fund “pride” organizations and events from 2020 to 2022 while at the same time most Canadians were under draconian COVID lockdowns and mandates.
The funding was revealed through an Access to Information request via pro-life online blogger Patricia Maloney, whose research shows that $12,021,707 was handed out to help fund multiple “pride” events.
“Being that it’s the so-called ‘pride season,’ I thought it might be a good idea to see just how much of our tax dollars during COVID went to this ideology that is forced fed down our collective throats,” Maloney wrote.
It should be noted that many provinces had in place strict restrictions during the COVID lockdown that in effect banned large outdoor gatherings. However, while many “pride” parades were canceled, some proceeded to take place, even if done virtually with the help of taxpayer money.
According to the federal government, money allocated from the “Equality for Sex, Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression Program” is “to advance social, political and economic equality with respect to sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.”
Maloney observed that it is “interesting” the Trudeau government “continued to fork out money to the ‘pride’ dogma, even when the entire country, and especially our churches, were shut down during COVID.”
“Yet we still gave millions of dollars to ‘pride.’ What did they do with that money anyway, since they couldn’t have their irreverent and lewd parades and festivals,” she wrote.
The funding list shows virtually every LGBT ‘pride’ group in the country got money
The 31-page “pride” funding list obtained by Maloney shows how far the Trudeau government went to ensure that virtually every “pride” group in Canada, over 50 of them, received government money to help fuel their propaganda machines.
The amounts of the grants varied from a few hundred dollars to over $1 million and were given to “pride” groups in virtually every Canadian province and territory.
